Supercar, Eh?

September 12, 2009

When you think of Canada, fast cars is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. Honestly, it’s probably not the 50th thing that comes to mind. But Canadian company HTT Technologies is hoping to change with the introduction of its supercar, the Plethore LC-750. An odd name if you ask me (is it a play on the word “plethora”, meaning “many and varied”??), but one clue in the name should let you know that the Plethore means business – 750. It refers to the engine’s horsepower rating, which is coupled with 650 ft/lbs of torque. Did we mention this engine is crammed into a package weighing approximately the same as a Mazda MX-5 (aka, Miata roadster)? Sounds awesome and terrifying at the same time.

Visually, the McLaren F1 comes to mind, especially due to the “center drive” position. McLaren F1 on steriods is an accurate description. But whereas the F1 was a completely new car, the Plethore LC-750 has the underpinnings of a Corvette ZR1, with a custom carbon fiber body fitted on top.

Expect to see the Plethore officially unveiled a the Frankfurt Auto Show.
